It's His Work :)

Wow. So many amazing experiences this week! 

I had two amazing exchanges with some really special sisters. Hermana Mertens and Sister Church! They are so so so good. Both of them inspire me so much. They love the Lord and I felt closer to Him as I spent the day with them. 

Sister Mamata and I had a special experience - the Lord really told us that He knows us. We were talking with a member of our bishopric and he shared about his mission experience. He told us that all we need to do is try our best every day. That's all that matters. It's the Lord's work and He takes care of the parts we miss. He said that some missionaries he knew really stressed themselves out thinking it was all on them to make sure everything worked out (@ me), and it caused them to miss out on the experience of a mission. That was such a good reminder!

We need to give it all to the Lord. Give all we have. When we give Him everything and let Him run His work the way He wants it to be run, everything works out for the better. And we are blessed for it. 

I know that Jesus Christ heals. I know He loves us all individually. I know He can help us change and be better! He can help us think of ourselves in a better way. He can help us see our potential and the potential of those around us. He can help us accomplish things that would otherwise be impossible if it weren't for Him. 

I love 2 Nephi 2:25- 

" Adam fell that men might be; and men are, that they might have joy." 

Because of Jesus Christ - we can have JOY in this life!! 

I know that's so so true and I'm grateful I get to testify of that every day here in Michigan. I'm grateful for God who's teaching me so many priceless things. 

I love you all!! 

I'd love to hear what helps you feel joy this week:)
